Eucournpe man Io own yyomc..

John Philip Phillips in The American
Magazine says: A mans first duties are
to his family and himself. The State
should not make those primary duties
more difficult by taxing any Of the neces-
saries of life. Tire necessity for the
major portion of the enormous revenue
needed by government arises from vice
and folly in their various forms. The
causes OF taxation should bear the burden
of taxation. All public revenues should
be drawn from indirect taxes upon con.
duct and conditions more or less inimical
to the general welfare. Luxaries, vices,
follies, excessive wealth, and all conduct,
either of citizens or foreigners, which tends
to generate evil and injustice, should be
taxed as far as practicable, Such system
of taxation would necessarily have cor
relative effect, viz, the encouragement
of virtuous acts by freeing them from
public burdens. Instead of policy
which would make it impossible for any
individual to ever become the absolute
owner of homestead-that would make
mankind more nOmadlc and lessen their
interest in and affection for their homes
the State should encourage every man
to get piece Of ground and home of
his own. To this end, all homesteads to
limited amount of value, should be
exempt both from taxation and from
attachment for debt. The tendency Of
such measure would be silently to
prevent and cure the evil of monopoly
of land by o comparatively few, as well
as the evil of tenant population with
little interest in the soil upon which their
toll and lives are spent.

Mark Twain has struck a bonanza in
English as She is Taught" He is r. ads
ing extracts from il on all occasions, anu
he has written one Of the funniest articles
he ever wrote describing it in the April
Century. When he sent the Ms, of this
article TO the editor of the Century with
the request that it be printed in the April
number, which appears on the first day
of that month, the editor, after reading
it, thought il wGs practical Joke appro
pirate to the day. Until he had Mr..
Clemens positive assurance that 1t was a
genuine thing and heard the story of
how the compilation was made from the
lpR Of the Indy who made It, he could
scarcely believe that there was 30 much
unconscious humor in the world. Mr..
Clemens read extracts from the book at
the Authors Readings in Boston for the
benefit oftbe Longfellow Memorial Fund,
and DR.. Holmes, who sat upon the plat.
form and who was wholly unprepared
for what was coming, laughed till the
tears rolled down his cheeks to hear him
self described by well-meaning, but
altogether inaccurate sehool-boy, as "a
profigate and amusing author" while
the elergymeni in the audience joined in the
laugh created by the remark of similar
boy that there are great many donkeys
in theological gardens. The little book
from which MIR. Clemens made these
extracts was a success before Messrs.
Cas7ell u Company published it, for its
audience was waiting impatiently for it.

a story Of van Dyck.

The MagasiHe Of art for May says:
Van Dyck's first visit TO England, under
the protection of that Evangelist of the
art world, Lord Arundel, was not very
productive, nor, we may be sure, very
satisfactory to the young and ambitious
painter who was cumulative of the mag.
nifeent example of Rubens. The reign
of Cornelius Van Jansen was approaching
the end, but the times were not yet ripe,
In the apring of 1921 Van Dyck was
again in Antwerp, and in the autumn be
started for Italy, stimulated to this men,
consul of Rubens. Il was this JOYOUS
setting out from Antwerp that led 70 the
historic adventures at SaVenthem-as
charming and idyllic an interlude as the
sentimental voyagor could desire The
story suggests pretty picture; the gay
ana chiyairous painter on his white horse,
the gift of Rubens, with all the world
before him like an open paradise, riding
into Sayeuthem, and falling victim to the
beauty of Anna Van 0phem. The episode
is like page from the HWanderjahren of
wilhelm Meister.n II is pity to spoil
so delightful 8 story, but, as NJ. Guiffrey
observes, with the philosophy of critic,

REFERENCE FOR MYSTERY.
A Popular Natural Kennedy for abe
PrOHiueaa Of Life.


In "The Natural versus the Super
natural, John Burroughs in Popular
Science Monthly for May, writes :" Few
minds in earnest, says Cardinal Newman,
" can remain at ease without some sort of
rational grounds for their religious belief.n
But it is equally true that half-formed,
half-developed minds, which means the
great mass Of the people of any age,
rather draw back from exposing their
faith to a light so common, so secular as
that of reason. Plutarch quotes Soph.
ocles es saying that the Deity is
easy to wise men, who can truth discern"
but adds that the vulgar look with high
veneration upon whatever is extravaganza
and extraordinary, and conceive more
than common sanctity to lie concealed
under the veil of obscurity. The average
mind clings to the mysterious, the super
natural. Goethe, as lately quoted by
Matthew Arnold, said those who have
science and art have religion; and added.
let those who. have not science and art
have religion, that is, let them have the
popular faith let them have this escape,
because the others are closed to them.
Without sns hold upon the ideal, or any
insight into the beauty and fitness Of
things, the people turn from the
tedium and the grossness and
prosiness of daily life, to look
for the divine, the sacred, the saw
ing, In the wonderful, the miraculous,
and in that which battles reason. The
disciples of Jesus thought of the
kingdom of heaven as some external con.
ditlon of splendor, and pomp, and power
which was to be ushered in by-and- by
by hosts Of trumpeting angels, and the
Son Of man, in great glory, riding upon
the clouds, and not, for one moment as
the still small voice within thpm To find
the divine and the helpful in the mean
and familiar, to find religion without
the aid of any supernatural machinery,
to see the spiritual, the eternal life in and
through the life that now is-in short. to
see the rude, prosy earth as star in the
heavens, like the rest, is indeed the lesson
of all others the hardest to learn.
But we must learn it sooner or later
There surely comes time when the MIND
perceives that this world is the work o.
God also and not of devils, and that il
the order of Nature we may behold tn,
ways OF the Eternal in fact, that God il
here and now in the humblest and mos

and slip the tea in, pour on sufficient

CaSSelps Family Magazine for HAY
says: A fish pudding is nice way to
reserve the remains Of any cooked fish.
To two tablespoonfuls Of fish, cut small,
add one of bread.crumbs; the latter to be
soaked little in warm milk, then strained
and beaten fine. Add beaten egg and
little salt, pour into buttered cup,
cover with piece of white paper
buttered, and steam half an hour. The
water should only reach halfway up the
cup and should not boil too fast, or the
egg will become more hardened than is
desirable. Salmon, cells. mackerel, and
Derrirgs, being oily, are unsuitable Tor
invalids. A few Words on beef tea, or
our paper will be incomplete. II used to
be looked upon as a sign of goodness il
beef tea ''jellied" when cold. This is an
error. No good beef tea can possibly
"jelly," for this reason-it must not, or
rather should not, be made from gelatin

suitable to make stock for clear soup,
but that is another matter. II shin be
used at all, it ought to be the top, where
thick piece of meat can be cut; but
other parts are better--the round or the
roll of the bladebone. Ask the butcher
for lean, tender steak; cut it as IL 1t were
to be cooked as steak, and exercise the
same care in the selection, and the
patient will reap the benefit. Now, as Ia
the mode of making the tea: it is mis-
take to cut the beef in large pieces, or tc
let it boil for single minute. Scrapt
the meat finely, and put it in jar Of
cold water, with pinch Of salt, to soal
for an hour, or more if convenient; ther
tie it down with paper over the mouth
and set the jar in a saucepan of colo
water; bring this to the boil, and let tn,

long as anything is cooked in vessel Sc
in another, the contents Of the inner ON
